The Winter Poop Elf is a myth

Really? I have all kinds of wildlife and never dealt with it. Prolly because I don't know what to look for. It looks like a bunny or racoon was checking out my cars today.

I did see a little pellet drop to the snow from the tree when Rocky the squirrel was outside my window today.

I guess I'll have to do a routine yard cleanup each week before the landscapers come this year. Maybe I'll hire a poop service, too. :P
 
Ah, you haven't lived until you've had 30 turkey and 15 deer in your yard. Throw in the occasion small flock of geese and who needs to fertilize.:D

Last winter with many feet of snow, when the dogs went poo, most everyone did their best to get it all. When the great melt off happened, we were all surprised on how much we missed. I mean when you stand there and watch the dog do his business then reach into the steaming hole, you still missed some. After 4 months with several dozen dogs, that adds up...

That sounds familiar. Our apartment in Lebanon, NH was on the side of a big hill (or small mountain), built right up into the woods. We had all manner of squirrels, huge rabbits, raccoons, wild turkey, deer, even a bear or two. Our landlord spend a lot of time wandering the grounds with a pressure washer.
 
What? No cigarette butt fairy either? Then where do all those cigarette butts come from?

The butts come from the butts who smoke and think the world is their ashtray. The mythical fairy is supposed to remove the cigarette butts. But we can see by all the butts on the ground that the fairy is a myth.
 
OK, the thing with litter boxes is that they get scooped twice daily. There aren't little piles of presents waiting around to thaw out.

I do have a dog, and no longer have to deal with raccoon poop, deer poop, fox poop, or coyote poop in the back yard. However, I don't think all the dog poop I do have to deal with is a fair trade...
 
Our yard is once again filling up with snowman poop ... expecting another 6" before they're done.

Holy cats! Twice a day! More like twice a week for mine. And after this thread I'm not even going to admit to everyone what I do with the stuff I scoop... :redface:

nope, I use the clumping stuff. I'm just really anal.

I have 3 cats, 4 boxes, and scoop every night before bed. One box is barely used, the other two see light traffic, and the fourth looks like a truck stop. Yet, if I use any less, the cats act all weird and fight a lot more.

Cheers,

I put out two boxes when I go on long trips for the cat sitter - easier for her to deal with.

Scooping morning and night works well for all of us - you really don't want anything in there that they can step in.

What is really funny is that the one cat makes a beeline for the litter box when I get home. Every night.
 
Just when you thought you were free from poop...
Mollie laid down a steamer. ... turning the bag inside out like a glove, and grabbing the warm pile that melted in my hand. It wasn’t pleasant in the usual sense of the word, but I experienced some satisfaction in a job well done. I tied the bag into a tidy little package and intended to head home.

That’s when I noticed Mollie had just begun to poop. ....

Do you know what is NOT effective for picking up warm piles of poop? If you guessed “other warm piles of poop,” you might have been in this situation yourself.

C'Mon, Eizabeth, laugh. :P

This one is aviation related:
I know there is something wrong with me because I enjoy reading stories about frozen waste from airplane bathrooms that falls to Earth and almost kills people.
